What to do at Wrights Bay?

Wrights Bay, situated between Robe and Kingston on the Limestone Coast in South Australia, is the ideal place to holiday. The quiet serenity of the rolling tides makes it the perfect place to unwind, take a breath and enjoy the slowed-down pace of life that made us fall in love with the area. Enjoy the sleep-ins and salty air while exploring everything that the Limestone Coast has to offer, whatever your niche happens to be.

Fishing and Boating

Crabs and Crays caught at Wrights Bay over summer

Wrights Bay is a haven for recreational fishers as not only have we seen scores of Whiting, Garfish, Snapper, Squid, Salmon, Tommy Ruff, Mullet and Crayfish brought in just off our shores but equally as practical for your fishing endeavours. Boats can be easily launched from the bay and you don't need to travel out far to catch a feed or if you prefer shore fishing, cast a line from the sand and enjoy the serenity. Didn’t catch anything? No worries, head into Robe and visit SkySeafoods and they will have some super fresh seafood available for you to cook back at camp or to throw in a freezer to take back home.
